I have a job where the homeowner is planning on installing some LED lighting fixtures in their closets. The closets are only 24" deep and his description is of a fixture approximately 12" round. In the '08 Code it appears the only way this fixture would be allowed is if it is "identified for this use".
I am assuming such a fixture would have a marking (listing) "suitable for storage space" similar to "suitable for damp locations" but having never seem such an animal that is only an assumption.
Can anyone advise how a LED closet storage light is identified ?

I haven't seen LED lights labeled as "safe for storage areas" but I have seen fluorescent fixtures that said on the box they were "safe for clothes closets".

I do not know if they actually were UL listed/certified or just a marketing thing on the package.
